In my case it is good for me. I am asthmatic. Coffee is a natural remedy for an asthma attack. If I feel one coming on and don't have a rescue inhaler with me, I can reach for the coffee. The heat from it and the caffeine work together in dialating the broncial passages and reducing the inflamation, helping to decrease or stop the asthma attack.

Q. Is caffeine good for you?
A. Caffeine is a drug. It is also a non prescription drug and an uncontrolled drug. The important thing about it is. It is a habit (addictive) forming drug.
From time to time studies have come out that puts it, in bad category or good category.
The latest studies put caffeine in good lights.
Drug or not any thing in excess may be very harmful to ones health.
Your statement:
"Please explain why or why not. I am an addict."
You only can answer this I cannot answer this but if anyone even trays to answer, then they are just guessing. I do not want to guess but I will tell you what I know.
What I know:
Since it is an addictive drug any person taking caffeine, in any form, on regular bases will have a very mild or very strong addiction.
Severity of addiction depends on amount and timing.
Now I will give you my own example.
Usually I drink 3 to 4 mugs of coffee in a day with cream and sugar.
While watching and enjoying TV, on one Sunday. I found that I was about to start 3rd pot of coffee. If I had started that pot I would have completed 18 mugs of coffee. According to new study 2 to 3 cups (not mug witch is larger) is good for you. Lucky for me I realized what I was about to do and did not start 3rd pot.
I say I am addicted to caffeine, my addiction is mild, and if I have to stop drinking coffee for any reason, it will not be very difficult to break addiction but I may have mild withdrawal symptoms.

It is in moderation. Not excessive amounts.

You probably won't sleep if you have to much, I have heard it helps speed up your metabolism.
